Headache and mild visual changes after starting enclomiphene, normal?

Posted by grace_sleepnerd in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

5 mg daily for about three weeks to see if it would help with low energy. I’m new to this stuff so I started low and kept a simple log. Around day five I got a dull headache that lasted a few hours each morning and a couple of times I noticed a brief flicker in my vision like a light spot that went away quickly.

I stopped for two days and the headache cleared up, then restarted at the same dose and the symptoms didn’t come back. I’m wondering if others have seen similar short‑term side effects when they first start enclomiphene, or if it could just be coincidence or dehydration. I’ve been drinking more water and taking it with food since then.

Should I get bloodwork to check hormones and liver enzymes before continuing, or is this something that usually settles on its own? Any advice on what to watch for would be appreciated. Thanks y’all.
